Shopify Investor Presentation Deck
Advisories
This presentation contains forward-looking statements that are based on our management's
current estimates, beliefs and assumptions, which are based on management's perception of
historic trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors
management believes are appropriate in the circumstances. Although we believe that the plans,
intentions, expectations, assumptions and strategies reflected in these forward-looking
statements are reasonable, these statements relate to future events or our future financial
performance, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may
cause our actual results to be materially different from any future results expressed or implied by
these forward-looking statements. Although the forward-looking statements contained in this
presentation are based upon what we believe are reasonable assumptions, investors are
cautioned against placing undue reliance on these statements since actual results may vary from
the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors, which are, in some cases, beyond our control and which could
materially affect our results. These risks are described in further detail in our Q3 2023 earnings
release, in our Management's Discussion and Analysis, in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in
our Annual Information Form disclosed previously and from time to time in Shopify's filings with
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the securities commissions or similar
securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces or territories of Canada, which are
available on www.sec.gov and on www.sedarplus.ca. If one or more of these risks or
uncertainties occur, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may
vary significantly from those expressed, implied or projected by the forward-looking statements.
References to long-term trends in our model are forward-looking and made as of the current
date. Nothing in this presentation should be regarded as a representation by any person that
these long-term trends will be achieved and we undertake no duty to update these long-term
trends or any other forward-looking statements contained in this presentation, except as required
by law.
We believe that the case studies presented in this presentation provide a representative sample
of how our merchants have been able to use various features of our platform to grow their
respective businesses. References in this presentation to growth and sales following
implementation of our platform do not necessarily mean that our platform was the only factor
contributing to such increases.
To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in
accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), Shopify uses
certain non-GAAP and other financial measures to assist investors in understanding our financial
and operating performance. These measures are not recognized measures for financial
statement presentation under GAAP, do not have standardized meanings, and may not be
comparable to similar measures presented by other public companies. These measures should
be considered a supplement to, not a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measures
calculated in accordance with GAAP. Please refer to the Appendix titled "Non-GAAP and Other
Financial Measures" for further information.
This presentation contains information concerning our industry, including information relating to
the size of the markets in which we participate, that are based on industry surveys and
publications or other publicly available information, other third-party survey data and research
reports. This information involves many assumptions and limitations, there can be no guarantee
as to the accuracy or reliability of such assumptions and you are cautioned not to give undue
weight to this information. While we believe this information to be reliable, it has not been
independently verified.
